Head-to-head Dota 2 7.41e win rate from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Hoodwink wins the Hoodwink vs Lycan matchup: Hoodwink beats Lycan in 50.52% of 2,134 ranked matches.
Fights breaking out near the treeline really test this matchup. Hoodwink can try to kite and find a Bushwhack stun on Lycan, which is her best bet for survival and turning the fight. The problem is that a Shapeshifted Lycan is so fast that he can often outrun her or simply reposition to avoid getting caught near a tree. His wolves also provide vision, making it harder for Hoodwink to hide and set up her combo. If she misses her stun or is caught in the open, she has little defense. If she lands it, she can burst him down. This leaves the outcome very dependent on positioning and which hero gets the jump.
